Chapter 674
After walking for a long time, the truck suddenly slowed down and stopped. The back door of the truck was opened, and a few men of Southeast Aelinne descent climbed onto the truck. They stuffed four bags of bread and two bottles of water into the container.
The men then rudely tore the tapes off the children’s mouths and untied their hands and feet.
“Daya, be gentle. If you hurt them, we won’t be able to sell them for a good price.”
“Little brats, don’t shout, do you hear me? If anyone shouts, we’ll beat them up!”
One of the men threatened fiercely.
The little princess and one of the princes, who were already crying from fright, immediately whimpered in fear.
Even the other prince had tears in his eyes.
Only Ollie picked up the bread and water and ate silently.
The crooks looked at Ollie in surprise. This child was very bold.
He reached out and lifted Ollie’s little face. His eyes were instantly filled with amazement. “This child’s eyes are really beautiful.”
Then, he said, ”He’s just a little silly and doesn’t look very bright.”
Ollie looked at them in confusion and curiosity, then lowered his head to continue eating.
“Alright, one of you stay here and watch them. We’ll stand guard outside. If anything happens, drive away immediately.”
After the men left, Ollie said to his three friends, “Don’t be afraid. The bread is delicious and sweet.”
The pampered little prince and princess would never eat this kind of dry bread on the usual days. However, when they saw Ollie eating so happily, they abandoned their fear and ate with him.
The bread that was clearly not delicious seemed to have become especially sweet because the few of them ate it together.
The world of children was sometimes that simple.
The crook who was left behind to guard them could not help but take a few more glances at them.
These children were really crazy!
Suddenly, a series of gunshots came from outside.
Everyone was shocked. The crook who was watching the children dashed out of the truck and saw a heavy truck coming toward them.
When they saw the logo on the heavy truck, the crooks were shocked. One of them muttered, “Damn it, why are men from Strix here?”
While they were talking, Strix’s truck was already closing in on them. The gunshot from before was from Strix’s truck. Someone had fired a shot into the sky as a warning.
The leader of the crooks signaled one of his subordinates to get in the truck and watch over the children while he led the others toward the oncoming heavy truck.
“Oh my, isn’t this Mr. Klub? Are you just passing by, Mr. Klub? My men will make way for you now.”
The leader of the heavy truck was a man from the southeast. His name was Klub, and he was one of Strix’s higher-ups.
Klub looked at the crooks coldly and said, “What are you transporting?”
“Just a few tons of tobacco.”
As he spoke, the leader of the crooks ordered his subordinates to bring down a few large boxes of tobacco. He said to Klub, “Mr. Klub, this is a small token of our appreciation!”
They did not want to complicate matters.
Klub glanced at the boxes of goods and sneered. “Tobacco? Hmph, I heard that what you have in your truck is what Strix wants. Who gave you stragglers the guts to intercept Strix’s business?”
The leader of the crook felt uneasy.
What Klub was talking about was naturally not the children. Instead, there was a very special plant hidden in the tobacco.
They just took the children because it was convenient.
Just as the leader was about to quibble, a scream suddenly came from behind.
The leader’s expression changed. He turned around and saw that the subordinate he sent to guard the children had been thrown out of the truck. His subordinate also looked pale.
